A native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, this 18-year-old was a student who resided in Spring Grove, Illinois during her time on America’s Next Top Model. Taking a break from her education, she decided to pursue her modeling career by becoming one of the contestants for America’s Next Top Model’s, Cycle 13.

Erin is a self confessed “total nerd” who enjoys playing video games such as Pokemon. She also loves the Internet and the online culture. In interviews, she’s said, “No matter whether I win, I’ll leave the contest with a lot of contacts in the industry.” Prior to the competition a nervous Erin has stated “I’m gonna play the game, and I’m gonna win the game. Because I’m good at games, games are easy.”

Erin was a strong front runner during her time on the show, being consistently called in the top six with the best photos. She also won two reward challenges toward the end of the series. Her performance began declining after episode 6 and she fell to the bottom two four times in a row before she was eliminated with Jennifer An during episode 11.

Many viewers in ANTM forums commented that they began to look at Erin differently after the models arrived in Hawaii, due to her increased arrogance and slight ungrateful nature. After winning a reward challenge, she wasn’t happy with her prize, a helicopter tour of the island, because she wanted a tangible prize like jewelry.

Since the show, Erin has signed with Wilhelmina Models, and has done some test shots. She can be seen in an ad for Editor’s Closet for sunglasses, as well.

Hi I’m a relative of Erin. And to be honest, you are a bitch. You need to check yourself before you go trolling all over someone you don’t even know. Erin was portrayed as a completely different person on the show than the person she is in real life. You would know that if you were even remotely talented enough to get on a show like ANTM. But boo…you’re not, so get over yourself.

In reality, she was the most versatile and high fashion model. The only thing she would have really sucked at is catalog/commercial type of stuff, and even then she wouldn’t have been that bad. Yes, she had a bad personality, but that doesn’t meant she was a bad model, just that she’s a bad person. Go read up on Naomi Campbell, she’s notorious for being a complete bitch, but even then she’s still a rich supermodel.

In my opinion, Erin was the best of the whole lot. What she did was wrong in Walmart and her confidence went down after she did the Cover Girl commercial. But she brought it back up when it was final 4 and it was too late.

I’m surprised Erin has so many fans. Usually the person who complains the most, has fits, and is generally ungrateful aren’t the most like. She complained about everything, and the first challenge she won she was like “I wish I would have gotten a better prize” What?!

Also I don’t think her look is that original. She sort of reminds me of a blonde Selena Gomez and of course Mena Suvari. However, I always did like Erin’s shots.

I Pearsonally loved Erin. She was the strongest girl in the house. Yes, she was a feirce competitor, but that showed me how much she wanted it. If you stand back and be to nice you won’t get anywhere. Erin inspired me. She took the most beautiful pictures in the house. She is memorable and she taught me just beacuse im short doesn’t mean i can’t get anywhere in life. Thank you, Erin!!

“if you stand back and be nice you won’t get anywhere?” That’s total bull. For an example, just look at Nicole and Laura. Neither of them were whiny or complained about ‘bad prizes’ or dissed other girls in the house and they were final two and Nicole won! They were the sweetest girls in the house. It proves you don’t have to be a brat or bitch to get ahead in life.

Erin was the best! I really wanted her to win. And yes, it was wrong what she did in Walmart, but we don’t have to forget that it was a game and everyone wanted to win. So Erin, I’m from the Netherlands and you are also famous here! 😉

Yes, she was a brat, but as a competitor, she was amazing. Beautiful, unique face and took beautiful pictures. She wasn’t there to make friends, she was there to win. Hopefully shes matured since the show.

Erin is just young at the time of ANTM cycle 13… and part of being young is committing mistakes… but i think she’s not as bad as many critics commented about her… and i believe when she would become more mature someday… she would be a very good model.. i believe in Erin Wagner 🙂

yes erin’s a bitch…ok, what else? she’s fierce and SOOO editorial. and in the real world of modeling there’s no flowers and rainbows. everyone is cut throat, u have to be that way when u’re in such a competitive industry. as long as she knows how to hide her bitchiness in front of clients ect then she’s all good.

I met erin today and she was really sweet to me even though I sounded like a dork and accidentally called her short. She just smiled and seemed really laid back. Don’t believe everything you see on tv. Not to mention she was 18 at the time, I mean what 18 year old away from home for the first time isn’t bratty?

Yawn, what was with this cycle and immature teenage brats? Foul temper, the way she behaved at the Covergirl shoot actually had me in shock. That’s what she got for not spending time on the task, if it was real life she would have been sent home and never picked up from that client ever again.

I don’t get how on Earth she was saved from the bottom 2 like 3 times in a row. That’s a mess.

I think she was a pretty model, but immature when it came to the walmart challenge, and then whining about her prize when she won the challenge..I can see being competitive, but to pull on someone during the challenge was inexcusable..

I somehow missed cycle 13. Erin was just 18 in 2008. She has had 5 years to grow, to mature, to see just how unimportant pidley jewelry, etc. is compared to meaningful life experiences. It is such a shame you did not allow yourself to enjoy the helicopter ride in Hawaii. I lived there for a few years, and I treasured every day. Like everyone else, it takes awhile to gain perspective. I look back at my “I am all grown up, this and that is not fair” self and just chuckle. Best of luck to you Erin!
